the merits of the rulemaking will be retained in the public comment

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On November 6, 2018, the Commodity Futures
Trading Commission (``Commission'') approved a request for public
comment regarding the practice

of ``post-trade name give-up'' on swap execution facilities (the ``Name
Give-Up Request for Comment''). The Name Give-Up Request for Comment
was published in the Federal Register on November 30, 2018, with a 60-
day comment period closing on January 29, 2019 (83 FR 61571). On
November 6, 2018, the Commission also approved a notice of proposed
rulemaking regarding swap execution facilities and the trade execution
requirement (the ``SEF NPRM''). Like the Name Give-Up Request for
Comment, the SEF NPRM was published in the Federal Register on November
30, 2018 (83 FR 61946). However, the SEF NPRM was published with a 75-
day comment period that is scheduled to conclude on February 13, 2019.
By a separate Federal Register release also published today, the
Commission has determined to extend the comment period for the SEF NPRM
until March 15, 2019. The Commission anticipates that there will be a
large degree of overlap between the group of commenters on the SEF NPRM
and the group of commenters on the Name Give-Up Request for Comment, as
well as certain overlaps in the issues raised by the two matters. In
light of these factors, the Commission believes that it would be
sensible for the comment periods for the two matters to conclude on the
same date. Accordingly, the comment period for the Name Give-Up Request
for Comment is open through March 15, 2019.

Issued in Washington, DC, on February 5, 2019, by the
Commission.
Robert Sidman,
Deputy Secretary of the Commission.
